Winter Heritage Classics Series Wraps Up Feb. 12

SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- Heritage Sandy Springs will close out its 2016-2017 season of Heritage Winter Classics on a pitch perfect note.

The series ends Sunday, Feb. 12 with two a cappella groups from Georgia Tech who are competing in the South Quarterfinals of the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella the evening before their performance in Sandy Springs.

Sympathetic Vibrations, aka SympVibes, is an all-male a cappella group founded at Georgia Tech in 1997.

They typically have 12-15 active members as well as some who are on co-op rotations or other various diversions. They perform at various events on Tech’s campus and across the state. They arrange all of their own music (mostly pop and classic rock) and rehearse three times weekly.

SympVibes will be performing a few of their competition songs at Heritage Winter Classics, including “Irresistible” (Fall Out Boy), “Until the End of Time” (Justin Timberlake) and “Suffer” (Charlie Puth).

Nothin’ but Treble, Georgia Tech’s premiere all-female a cappella group, was founded in 1998. They typically 10-12 active members ranging from freshmen to graduate students.

All of the music in Nothin’ but Treble’s growing repertoire is arranged by a current or former member of the group. Nothin’ but Treble took home an award for best arrangement for “Chandelier” at the 2015 Southeast Regional ICCA competition.

For their Heritage Winter Classics performance, Nothin’ but Treble will reprise their 2017 competition set which features “I Want You Back” (Jackson 5), “Classic” (MKTO), “Unsteady” (X Ambassadors), and “Survivor” (Destiny’s Child), among others.
